| Title: National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Generic Maximum Achievable Control Technology Standards for Spandex Production Residual Risk and Technology Review | |
| Abstract: This action would address the agency's residual risk and technology review (RTR) of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP): Generic Maximum Achievable Control Technology Standards for Spandex Production Residual Risk and Technology Review. The Spandex Production NESHAP, 40 CFR 63 subpart YY, was promulgated pursuant to section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) on July 12, 2002 (See 67 FR 46258). The NESHAP established emission limitations and work practice requirements based on maximum achievable control technology (MACT) for controlling emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) from storage vessels, process vents, and fiber spinning lines. The HAP emitted from these Spandex Production equipment include toluene and 2,4 toluene diisocyanate. This action would implement the residual risk review requirements of CAA section 112(f)(2) and the technology review requirements of CAA section 112(d)(6). The statute directs the EPA to promulgate emission standards under CAA 112(f)(2) if such standards are required to provide an ample margin of safety to protect public health or to prevent, taking relevant factors into account, an adverse environmental effect. Any such standards are to be promulgated within 8 years after promulgation of MACT standards under CAA section 112(d). CAA section 112(d)(6) requires the EPA to review and revise the MACT standards as necessary, taking into account developments in practices, processes and control technologies, no less often than every 8 years. Pursuant to a court order (Community In-Power and Development Association v. Pruitt, No. 16-cv-1074KBJ (D.D.C. 2018)), the EPA is obligated to complete this action by October 1, 2021. | |
